Lacking any information to the contrary, the frightened public ... are swept along.

This is serious.

Nirmala SrivastavaAnd finally, there is another danger: the emergence of nonideological but very aggressive 'isms,' which are really quite new.

I am aware of the importance of voluntary associations, but I fear NGOism.
